BREAKING! Polling station on LOCKDOWN after SHOOTING in California…

by SooperMexican

There’s been a shooting near a polling station in Azusa, California and they shut it down.

Watch below:

More from CBS Los Angeles:

Four people were transported to an area hospital following an officer-involved shooting Tuesday in Azusa, authorities said.

Authorities responded to W. 4th St. and N. Orange Ave. Tuesday afternoon.

Officers “were met with gunfire at the scene” and that they found themselves “pinned down” by gunfire, Azusa police Officer Jerry Willison said. Authorities worked to extract the pinned-down officers, Wilison said.

Multiple ambulances could be seen at the scene from Sky 9. A triage area was set up to treat patients at the scene.

Four people were transported to hospitals following the shooting, said Vanessa Lozano of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The shooting occurred near Slauson Middle School, which was placed on lockdown.

LA County Registrar Dean Logan said two polling places — Memorial Park and Dalton Elementary School — were impacted by the shooting and that voters should seek out alternative polling places.

I’ll update as more is available.
